Publications Received. 
THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE OF VICTORIA. 
We have received the first number of the Jowrnal of Agriculture of 
Victoria, published by direction of the Minister for Agriculture (the Hon. John 
Morrissey, M.L.A.), and edited by Mr. H. W. Potts, F.C.S., F.L.S. This first 
issue reflects the greatest credit on all concerned with its production. The 
articles by the various writers are well and clearly written, and extremely varied 
and well chosen, so that, as stated in the introduction,.‘‘ producers with 
ordinary intelligence and capacity will be enabled to derive benefit from them.” 
The letterpress is clear, whilst the illustrations leave nothing to be desired. 
We heartily welcome this latest addition to State journalism, and wish it a long 
and successful career.
